Shout out to Text Pieces! I needed to URL-encode a big ugly string (creating a template form from URL parameters, yay!) and yep, sure enough, it made it stupidly easy.
The next time you need to encode, transform, or convert some text on Linux, reach for this pretty little offline app instead of pasting your data into some random website. 👍
AlmaLinux 9.4 aims to improve system availability and reliability, facilitate easier recovery operations, and enhance virtual machine snapshot capabilities in hybrid cloud environments.
I see posts calling for folks to write/email/call/smoke signal/wire/semaphore their representatives about the security fuckery of Windows Recall.
I'm more of an "act locally" guy. Email your place of employment's heads of legal and IT stating your concerns, and send them this article. Hell, throw in your local schoolboards and universities to boot.
I was sad to find a surprising lack of visual scripting apps for Linux. Apple's Shortcuts app is very powerful and can be incredibly useful. It's not like we don't have the technical ability to make something similar.
So I started working on one myself :blobfoxfloofcofe:
ChatGPT is down, Kaspersky makes an attempt at a Linux Antivirus, Google workers leaking Nintendo private info, PS4 Emulator installing a crypto miner and A LOT more!
Ubuntu Core 24, an OS for IoT devices, launches with a new factory install system, GPU support for AI applications, support for Raspberry Pi 5, and more. https://linuxiac.com/ubuntu-core-24-released/
The mass exodus from #Windows to #Linux (and #Mac) due to #Windows11 and #AI continues. More and more articles, more and more youtube videos about it, or posts on forums. People are switching. If it continues like that, Linux should have 10% desktop marketshare by the end of the decade (and yes, that's a lot).
Sempre nell'ottica di voler passare a linux, anche se chissà quando, mi domando: come siamo messi con la questione antivirus, firewall?
Recentemente ho letto diversi messaggi che sollevavano la questione dicendo che più persone passeranno a linux e più questo diverrà suscettibile di attacchi e che al momento non ci sono ancora strumenti di protezione adeguati.
Al netto delle questioni su Recall/Copilot, che ne pensate di queste critiche?
#Linux#compression
Ah juste un truc absolument génial avec zstd :
Imaginez que vous voulez compresser la sortie d'un dd, netcat ou scp.
Si vous prenez un taux de compression trop bas, vous perdez en ratio de compression.
Si vous le choisissez trop haut, vous perdez du débit (le CPU prenant trop de temps).
Et bien zstd peut s'adapter au débit I/O ou réseau avec l'option --adapt.
Vous aurez ainsi la meilleure compression possible sans ralentir votre débit.
The Linux kernel include/linux/math.h header has macros
roundup(x, y)
and
round_up(x, y)
What do you think they do? Would you know the difference between the two without looking it up? What happens if you mix them up? How significant is the single underscore there?
The day is kicking off in the @webhackfest, and the “Web Engines Rendering in Linux: Sharing Ideas and Solutions” breakout session is now starting → https://github.com/Igalia/webengineshackfest/issues/26
There will be some slides to get the ideas flowing, and then the goal is to discuss what's the state of the art regarding graphics and windowing systems in #Linux —the main target platform for WPE WebKit— and how they relate to web engines.
All the “big” engines are represented: WebKit, Chromium/Blink, Gecko, and even Servo!
